The thing about all these pieces complaining about Marine Le Pen's conviction is that not a single one of them bothers to explain why someone found guilty of embezzling millions of Euros from public funds should be allowed to get away with it

The gymnastics by Le Pen fans begin. "Her path to the Élysée has been blocked by the courts rather than the electorate." Umm. Isn't it blocked by her criminal conduct? His only qualm is that French law is "bureaucratic". But it's the law for everyone and Le Pen is A CRIMINAL LAWYER by training. ~AA

Terrific reporting by @nytimes.com. Shame the British media can’t expose this for themselves. Will only fuel suspicion that Farage and his Brexit gang are - and have always been - a Putinist front

Farage's 'genius' has laways been to make it absolutely clear what he stands for & who he is without ever actually saying it all out loud. (Anjem Choudary, a trained lawyer, was similarly 'gifted' until hubris removed his mask.) It will be interesting to see how he copes with a rival saying it all.

This Byline Times story on Farage pictured with far-right activists has not been picked up by any established media outlet - including liberal/democratic/left publications. Why? Because people like being comfortable in their own power and status. The newspaper I edit will keep sounding the alarm.

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

Peter Baker reported from Moscow in the early days of President Vladimir Putin’s reign. "This reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access," he wrote of the White House's plan to handpick reporters. nyti.ms/41uUaN0

If the stakes weren’t so high, the contortions & humiliations of all the people who cheered this in & sneered about ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ etc would be absolutely hilarious.

Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

1. You don't pay inheritance tax you're dead, the people who inherit it do. 2. Never going to inherit £1m+ from anybody? Then like 96% of people you won't pay any inheritance tax. 3. If you get rid of inheritance tax for millionaires and billionaires, your taxes will go up.

Free speech "is in retreat" in Britain, says JD Vance, who is part of a Government which is now targeting critical news organisations with politically-motivated investigations, while banning others from the White House for the crime of referring to the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name
